I was diagnosed with T1 just before my 21st birthday back in October 2012. Until diagnosis, I'd always been very slim - on the underweight/healthy BMI borderline. I actually went many months with undiagnosed diabetes, and I assumed I was just losing weight because I was stressed about uni - but by the time I was hospitalised with DKA and diagnosed, I weighed 6 stone something at 5'6.

However! Since then, my weight has been a real issue. When I came out of hospital a week after...

I’ve not really been on the forum since I joined in 2013, but after 6 years of being a type 2 diabetic I’ve managed to reverse it. I did 12 weeks of The Fast 800 diet and have lost 2 stone, it’s basically a low carb, low sugar Mediterranean diet with delicious food and also involves some fasting. My HbA1c has gone from 53 to 35 I have also dropped 2 dress sizes, my skin and hair are in great condition and I feel amazing. Just wanted to share my success, wish the books could be given...

Exercising and following a low carb diet. The difficulty is trying to treat a hypo in a healthy way. I feel like the hypos are ruining all my hard work. Can anyone suggest healthy things to eat to treat a hypo?

Just read an article in the Mail(I know they don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!) about the Second Nature programme and wondered whether anyone is on, has been on it and has any feedback, good or bad?

Seems the NHS are trialling it as well

Happy Friday!

I’ve been exercising and eating well, I did low carbs and when I’ve previously done this two years ago I lost a bit of weight.
I’ve done the 800 cal diet, and now I’m doing 16:8 fasting but I’ve not lost a pound.
I’m really strict with my food, I started couch to 5k which I’ve nearly done, I walk with daughter for at 45 mins a day.
Any advice please would be greatly appreciated.
I’m starting to think there is something wrong with me.

I'm male.
I've had Diabetes Type 2 for 20 years, my current reading after fasting is 6.8, without trying too hard.
I was obese when I got my Diabetes and the diet I eat now, is a daily thing, each mealtime, with a few exceptions.
Eating just my diet alone, I have shed my weight down to 98kg where my doctor recommends 97kg as being ideal.
I am a couch potato and I rarely exercise, except to go shopping every few days and nothing else.
I eat shaved (cooked) roast beef, which I buy from my...
